Re-roofing is the process of installing a new roof when a roofing system fails. Roofing system failures can be caused by a number of factors, including age, severe weather, poor workmanship, defective materials, improper specification of a roofing system, abuse and failure to maintain the roof via inspections.
Knowing when to re-roof or spend more maintenance dollars is best accomplished by partnering with a good roofing contractor who can analyze your roof and help educate you on the best use of your roofing budget. There are many options and new regulations to consider. Call us so we can help you make the best choice.

Roof Repairs
Repairs involve the correction of defects caused by natural aging, roof stress, building movement, abuse, and improperly performed installation methods. The goal of any good repair is to return the roof system to a watertight condition. Repair work and materials used should always be compatible with the existing roof system. Improper repairs are more costly to correct and can easily void roof warranties.
Maintenance
Maintenance involves the physical inspection of an existing roofing system to determine it's current condition, detect weakness and failures and identify any potential future problems. Through a program of regularly scheduled annual or semi-annual inspections, the company's technicians assist customers in protecting their roofing investments by seeking to identify damage in its early stages. Early detection of leaks and roof system failures make it possible for the company to repair and extend the life of a roof system through repair or restoration, which is significantly less expensive and time consuming than re-roofing. The goal of any good maintenance program is to allow the roof to continue to age evenly.
Waterproofing
Building exteriors leak for many reasons. "Waterproofing" is the art of understanding water intrusion and how best to prevent it. From basic crack repair to foundation sealing, keeping water out of a building can be a very complicated and detailed process. If done wrong, your waterproofing project can be a costly mistake. Never rely on inexperienced installers or "cheap" products.
